Translation
In 2007, the 50th anniversary of the 'Treaties of Rome' was celebrated. What was the content of the treaties?
- A Germany's accession to NATO
- B Establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) ✓ Correct answer
- C Germany's obligation to pay reparations
- D Establishment of the Oder-Neisse line as the eastern border
Explanation
The 1957 Treaties of Rome established the European Economic Community, a major early step in European integration. NATO, war reparations and the Oder-Neisse border are unrelated matters from other years.
Tips
- Rome and 1957 point to the founding of the EEC, the ancestor of today's EU.
- NATO was founded in 1949 and the Oder-Neisse border was settled right after the war, both earlier than the treaties of Rome.
